大学生の摂食障害の予防的介入に向けて : BMIとEAT-26調査より

Eating disorders (ED) is a topic in campus mental health in recent years. ED is characterized by aberrant patterns in eating behaviors, including extreme restriction of food intake or binge eating, and disturbance in attitudes toward weight. ED is an important cause of physical and psychosocial morbidity in young women. The symptoms of ED are important issues in campus mental health. As ED is associated with school absence, the prevention and early detection of ED is of extreme importance. We investigated the body mass index and prevalence of aberranteating attitudes among university students. On campus, it may be important to provide students with appropriate information regarding ED, and offer early support to individuals suffering from, or at risk of, ED.
